CHL COURSE

The content of the course is set by the Texas Department of Public Safety, as is the course length. The classroom portion of the course includes (I) The application process (II) License restrictions and rules (III) Non-violent dispute resolution (IV) Rights of citizens involving the use of force and their restrictions and (V) The safe handling and storage of firearms. The length of the course is 10 hours.

We assist you with the application process and check all your documents to insure completeness. We take your passport photos, provide the required passport photo holder and notarize any documents that need it, all at no additional charge. Our single course fee is inclusive in that we provide all required forms, classroom materials and the passport photos, at no additional charge. Targets and eye/ear protection are also provided at no additional charge. And you pay no range fee.

Complimentary beverages and lunch are provided at our all-day Saturday classes.

For the handgun proficiency demonstration, you will shoot a timed course of fire consisting of 50 rounds fired at a 24"x 45" silhouette target. The majority of the shots are fired at close proximity to the target. Twenty rounds are fired from the 3-yard line, 20 rounds are fired from the 7-yard line and the remaining ten rounds are fired from the 15-yard line. The majority of applicants fulfill the handgun proficiency demonstration during the first 40 rounds of fire. All firing is highly supervised with a range safety officer directing every activity using standard range procedures and commands to insure safety.

For our regularly scheduled Saturday classes, we conduct the handgun proficiency part of the course the same day as the classroom portion. At the completion of the course, you will be issued the State required Handgun Proficiency Certificate (Form CHL-100). Students attending for a new license are here for the entire day. Those attending for a license renewal will be finished by around noon.

BASIC HANDGUN INSTRUCTION

This 1½ hour course is conducted at a private outdoor gun range just outside of McKinney, and it focuses on the basics of handgun shooting techniques. It covers (A) the basic elements of firearms safety (B) loading and unloading a firearm (C) proper stance and grip (D) correct sight picture and trigger control (E) firing from a standing position (F) basic practice drills. The instructor demonstrates correct technique and then works with each student one-on-one on the proper and efficient way to shoot a handgun. The course is a live-fire course with the students doing most of the firing. Students fire 100-200 rounds of ammunition depending on their individual fatigue factor. One-on-one coaching is central to this course.

Students may use their own firearm, but rentals are available at a minimal charge if needed.

Whether you are new to shooting or "have been shooting awhile", this course will certainly increase your level of confidence and your handgun skills.

 

This course is conducted as a private class rather than a multiple-student class format. You will receive the benefit of one-on-one coaching, just you and the instructor. To set up your personal session, call 214-544-2447 or email gary@northtexaschl.com.

Course Fee $75.00 per student*
(Discounts available for couples and small groups)

FFL TRANSFERS

Located in McKinney, Texas, North Texas CHL, LLC provides personalized Firearms Transfer Service for residents of North Texas including the Dallas Metroplex. To request a transfer, send an email to gary@northtexaschl.com or call us at (214) 544-2447 with the following information:

  • Seller's Name, Address & Phone Number
  • Seller's Email address
  • Make, Model & Caliber/Gauge of Firearm
  • Auction and Item No. (if applicable)
  • Your Name, Email Address & Phone Number

    Note: A copy of our FFL is normally sent via email because so many are unreadable after being faxed. Therefore we prefer the seller's email address rather than their fax number. Some sellers operate only with fax machines. In those cases give us their fax number, and we will fax a copy of our FFL.

The Process

This is how it works. North Texas CHL acts as the shipping address for your purchases. You purchase the firearm(s) from a gun dealer, e.g., over the Internet, and you tell that dealer that North Texas CHL, LLC is your transfer FFL dealer. We will then send a copy of our Federal Firearms License (FFL) to that dealer; they can at that point ship the firearm to us. Once we receive the firearm, we will contact you to let you know it has arrived. You then come to our office, fill out the required federal form (same form you fill out when you buy from a local gun shop), pay our transfer fee and take your new firearm home.

Our Fees

Transfers: $20.00 ($10.00 for Texas CHL holders & military)

If you are selling a handgun, we can ship it cheaper than a non-dealer due to the
fact that a Federal Firearms Licensee can ship handguns via the U.S. Postal Service.

Our fee for shipping a firearm: $10 + actual postage and insurance
